`NaHCO_(3) + CH_(3)COOH to CH_(3)COONa + H_(2)O + CO_(2)` Initial mass =4.2 + 10=14.2 Final mass=12+2.2=14.2 Thus, during the course of reaction law of conservation of mass is obeyed

Law of conservation of mass: When 4.2 g of sodioum hydrogen carbone (NaHCO_(3)) is added to a solution of acertc aacid (CH_(3) COOH) weighting 10.0 g then 2.2 g of carbon diosxed (CO_(2)) is released into the atmosphere and the residue ledft weighs 12.0 g . Show that these observation are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. Strategy: Find the sum total of mass of recants before the reaction and sum total of mass of products after the reaction.
In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of acetic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium acetate. Show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. sodium carbonate + acetic acid → sodium acetate + carbon dioxide + water
